Unless you really need 120Hz display support via the Thunderbolt port, I'd recommend the M4. I realize there is more RAM (12GB vs. 8GB in M4), but I haven't seen any side-by-side comparisons that show any meaningful performance differences. iPadOS has always been great with RAM, there are iPads running iPadOS26 today that only have 3GB of RAM.
Especially if you need (or might need) 5G connectivity, the ~$400 savings over M5 is pretty substantial IMO. Save that $400 toward a new M7 iPad in a few years ha.
for 1TB/2TB, both M4 and M5 have 16GB.

IMO, yes. The screen and speed would be worth it. With your battery aging this would likely get you back to 10ish hours of use

If you're still having trouble on iPad0S26 with your Mini 5, consider wiping it and setting it up as 'new'.
